I believe that processions and parades are the most popular public manifestations of antigüeños. It’s almost impossible to conceive Antigua Guatemala without a parade or procession almost every week. Here, for instance, I encountered an interesting student parade celebrating the anniversary of their school. From what I was able to determine, each classroom picked a theme as every 30 or so students the parade morphed. The picture above was taken from the most colorful section of the parade. I really like it because of its movement and context. What about you?

Very different from Sweden, we never have parades in my area, this looks like fun for the kids.
Yes, Stefan, it looked the kids were having fun since most of the parade was basically dancing on the streets. Thanks for the feedback about Suecia.
